I hoped that Pocono would be a 500-mile race. But then again, Fontana was supposed to be a 400-miler this year and they decided two months before the race to extend it to 500 miles. So there’s still hope that the […]

Not for the first three rounds, Toyota missed the first two rounds and had a double DNF at Le Mans (which was also a double-points round as a 24h race). They’ve been scoring rather too well for […]

Yap yap yap, as ever in press releases. Read between the lines and it says “We’re switching to two hybrids because Toyota are starting to beat us and we don’t like it.”

Do constructors’ titles count? If so, we kinda missed this one: Aug 26 – World Endurance Championship – LMP1 manufacturers’ title – Audi (round 4 of 8).

A F1 season is probably about 15000 km of running on 8 engines, so somewhere around 2000 km/engine. The Le Mans distance record was set in 2010 at ~5410 km, and adding warm-up and probably the Thursday qualifying […]

Sorry, it’s not something I want to see personally. Allowing F1 engines provides undertones of the death of Group C in 1990-1992.

Also, the whole article is just a speculation piece (un)fortunately. Engines […]
